Abstract
A lighting device employing a source of light which emanates to a first reflector which is positioned outwardly from such source. A second reflector at least partially surrounds the light source and is formed in spaced relationship with the first reflector to create a first gap between the first and second reflectors. The second reflector includes an opening which permits light from the source to pass to the first reflector and outwardly from the lighting device through the first gap. A light interacting element is formed outwardly from the source and is spaced from the second reflector to form a second gap. The second reflector is, thus, positioned between the first reflector and the light interacting element. Light interacting element further receives light from the source and either reflects or diffuses light outwardly from the lighting device.
